Spring Earrings in Sterling Silver

Spring Earrings in Sterling Silver

Sterling silver earrings set with acrylic and Australian white opals. Designed and made to order in our Sydney studio.

The high polished metal structure is 3D printed in wax and later cast in sterling silver using lost wax technique.

The acrylic panel is hand engraved in a flower pattern and houses the Western Australian white opal.

The opals are set in the acrylic using a specially developed system inspired by the stone setting technique "bezel setting". The pressure created by the acrylic holds the stones in place, without the use of glue or any other material. In turn the sterling silver body holds the acrylic panels using the same setting principle.

The earrings are engraved on the back with JOAO VAZ 925 (925 is the standard numerical stamp that notes what precious metal has been used).
